Atlas' NIArms Recoil Tweaks [experimental]

Description
The mod is now modularized. You can pick and choose the parts you want.

When using ACE, some of the NIArms weapons are rendered almost unusable due to crazy recoil, namely the SIG 550 series. It turns out the original NIArms mod applies vanilla weapon recoil patterns to its guns, and ACE indiscriminately overwrites all vanilla recoils.

This mod uses my own handwritten recoil patterns to bring NIArms weapons to a controllable level. There is still recoil, and each series of guns follow a different pattern (barrel length is also a factor). It does not require ACE to function, but the primary goal is to overcome ACE's changes to the vanilla patterns.

This mod is still experimental, meaning the recoil values are subject to changes and more series of weapons may be added later.


NIArms weapons with their recoil tweaked now:
- HK416 series
- AR15 series
- G36 series
- SIG550 series
- AUG series
- MP5 series
- SAW series
- M60 series
- MG3 series

I think so, as long as recoil part is unchanged.

Hey, NIA recently got a lot of config updates (none about recoil). I presume this addon/tweak still works as is?

ACE can only detect vanilla recoils and overwrite them. NIARMS used a lot of those on the guns, and I hate it.
So I wrote my own recoils for those guns. This way, they will basically ignore ACE Recoil.

Thanks, that's so much better. So when you're editing these values, which ones are you changing? Are you tweaking values that exist already or are you adding new ones that ACE will detect and use instead of vanilla?

I've added the tweak for MG3. Give it a try.
Side note: NIARMS appears to have used Zafir(Negev) recoil on its MG3 and MG42. Of course, ACE Recoil completely butchered that.

Thanks. Chuck a 4x optic like an elcan or an acog or something on to see what I mean.

For most of the time I used those MGs to spray down targets and didn't pay much attention to their accuracy. Will take a closer look and see if they need tweaking.

Hey mate, really helpful mod. Was wondering if you could take a look at the MG3 and MG42 guns? Even on a bipod the recoil is ridiculous. Tried to work it out myself but couldn't quite.

I have added the M60 series. The visual and horizontal recoils have been reduced.
Atlas1205  [author] 1 Apr, 2021 @ 9:21am 
Hmm? Strange, it already has barely any horizontal recoil. I think the problem is the visual recoil - the gun shakes violently in full-auto fire, but there doesn't seem to be much muzzle rise.
